Ye Liu is a PhD candidate in sociology at the New School for Social Research. With a background in anthropology and architecture, he has a wide interest in space, geography, empires, Third World(ism), global sixties, Chinese revolution, socialist modernity, radical theory, etc. His dissertation project is devoted to a theoretical reconstruction of "historical socialism" by reviewing China’s acclimatized construction aid and its epistemological politics in African tropical areas during the 1960s-70s.
Andreas Kalyvas's work focuses on democratic theory and the history of political thought from ancient Greek and Roman to modern and contemporary continental political theory. His research interests are situated in the intersection of politics, history, and jurisprudence with a strong emphasis on the relationship between popular sovereignty and constituent power; disobedience, resistance, sedition, and revolutionary breaks; the norm and the exception; emergency rule and dictatorship; state theory and oligarchic power; citizenship, cosmopolitanism, and migration.
The format of the workshop is designed to generate discussion. Registered attendees will be emailed the text in advance. During the workshop, the presenter will take the first 10 minutes to summarize the main points of the text and to develop them further; the commentator will then have 15 minutes to deliver their remarks. Following that, all participants will be invited to join the discussion.Â
